Tell me about Sabbath!

We decided to ask children from some of our churches to tell us about the Sabbath. Unfortunately, there is not room to list all the many wonderful answers we received. We hope you enjoy reading what our kids have to say about Sabbath.

Our church is called Seventh Day Baptist…what does that mean?

Aidan: SDB means that we worship God on the Sabbath/seventh day.

Alex: we worship on the seventh day

Ben: they do a baptising every 7 days

Brynn: Seventh day of the week and we go to church the 7th day of the week.

of the week. I’m pretty sure Baptists are people who think the Bible is true

and that we should be Baptized once we know Jesus. It’s a special part of

service where people are dunked in the serving pool. The pastor asks “are

you ready to accept Jesus as your savior?” and the person is dunked.
